Hi win_67. That site says water 2 to 3 times a week. But I must admit, it's not very specific about conditions. So I'll have to fail them on that one.

Watering schedule and amount will definitely depend on growing conditions - surrounding environment, growing media used, temperature, etc. For me, I use volcanic rock (scoria type) - so usually I can water every morning. I normally just use a spray wand to dump quite a bit of water into the media - leaving the leaves dry. I find it completely UNnecessary to aim the water spray nozzle toward the stem. Just aiming a couple of centimetre away from the stem (spraying into the media) is fine.

The phal in the attached photo isn't a philippinensis. It's a no i.d. one.

Could be a new root. Starting off purple coloured at first maybe, then changing to white with green tip later. Keep us updated.

I am not really going to make a guess but just say I don't think it is a root. Given the size of the "purple thing" is almost as big as the other root in the picture I would tend to think it would look more like a root than a purple thing. It also looks like the purple thing is growing around another root? Maybe a picture with more of the entire plant visible would help but I don't think root.

Generally my roots grows not totally violet, this is different from other roots in my little experience.
This seem grow in the same direction of the old steam (see in the photo the old dry steam)

Keep us posted on what develops from that violet growth. That will be interesting to see what it is later.

Also - write 'stem' (not steam) ..... as steam is vapour that comes off the surface of heated water, or something like that

Still hard to say. If I was going to bet money on it I would put my money on a flower spike.
